ENG5802H: Global Protest Cultures

This course studies cultural forms that participate in movements of liberation. It focuses on the commitment to future revolutionary possibilities in anticolonial, antiracist, and feminist thought and praxis, especially on the reinvention of literary and media codes and canons that unfold in such struggles. We will analyze subversive fiction, political essays/manifestos, prison memoirs, resistance poetry, documentary and narrative cinema, and photographic and televisual texts to address urgent questions about political existence in the long twentieth century of decolonization.
